    Brexit, for once some facts.

    True, but in about a years time we'll be trading with Russia again as if nothing had ever happened. It's what happens every time. It happened after their devastating attack on Georgia. It happened after their separatist forces shot down an airliner full of innocent people including many...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is utter rubbish. Putin undoubtedly rgerets the passing of the USSR, but he has no intention of attempting to revive it. With most of the former Warsaw pact countries in NATO, he knows that would be impossible. And he won't stay in Ukraine. You said it yourself, Russia is nothing like...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No it won't run and run since Putin isn't going to be staying in occupation of Ukraine. He isn't even going to attempt to occupy all of Ukraine. All he wants is the eastern two oblasts of Donbass (which are 100% Russian anyway) and a land link from there along the western flank of the Azov...

    You're just believing the silly lies, he's not at all mad, just determined as Russian leaders have usually been. There is no possibility of this momentary event leading to nuclear war. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, he has no intention of going further. Talk of that is just the West whipping up hate against him by fabrication and gross exaggeration. He's done what he set out to do, shown the West, Ukraine and Georgia that he meant it when he said NATO can't come any closer. In a years time we'll be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We'll see. What Putin has done is nothing compared to what Stalin got away with over the decades of his tyrannical rule. Our media hides the fact that at least half of all Russians support Putin, it's mainly the young who dissent but they tend to change and harden as they age Even Putin's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I dont think the fighting will last long, but I'm sure it will last long enough for Putin to get control of Ukraine. The anti-war demos are inconvenient but demos have never stopped Russia doing anything, any more than protests in China have ever stopped them. A new factor now in this respect...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I liked Dmitry Medvedev's comment about our sanctions when he was Russian PM: " We know about sanctions, they impose them, we ignore them, and then they come crawling back for the business". Brilliant, and so true! .

    It's ok where it is. There's been huge and totally unnecessary exaggeration about the Chernobyl reactor accident, simply as anti-Russian propaganda. What's left is no different in any way from the 1975 total meltdown at Three Mile Island which has been completely cleaned up, and only half that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Boris Johnson has made his announcement of our latest sanctions against Russia. His words said one thing, the broad smile on his face said this: "Thanks Vladimir, that should clog them with news other than blasted Downing Street parties". .

    I think it's to stop the West's continuous use of Chernobyl as propaganda against Russia with streams of documentaries and dramas. .

    Here's a snag witn being too unfriendly with the Russians, the ISS. Current crew are four from NASA, one fron ESA and two Russians, Anton Shkaplerov and Pytor Dubrov of Roscosmos. And the Russian Soyuz rockets still service the ISS with all the supplies transport and are the backup for the...

    What a machine!!

    I'm guessing the two tall side boxes just ahead of the rear wheel are for the batteries, the little box between the two large front boxes for the controller and the two large front boxes are for the pizzas it will be delivering. Still trying to work out where the rider's legs go though, unless...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Joking apart, Turkey has once again shown their increasing friendship with Russia, issuing a statement that Russia's incursion into Ukraine should not be seen as an invasion. I warned about this increasing loss of loyalty by a NATO member in this thread back in April 2018: Information Link...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Putin has exactly followed the prediction I've made both on Tuesday and earlier that he would move to link Russia to the Crimea from the Donbass region to more completely secure his southern naval fleet. His tanks have crossed en masse from the Crimea to secure that border area of Ukraine and...

    Wait until all the price increases are in, then the eyes will water! I'm getting mixed messages at the moment. Pensions up 3.1%, but income tax also up due the the personal allowances not keeping pace. But my electricity is way up long before the promised savage April increase. This time...
